Bug#780797: openssh-server: modifies the user configuration

[Chris Knadle <Chris.Knadle@coredump.us>]

The issue here is that the openssh-server package modifies two config
files in /etc without any warning to the user, and that's a clear
Policy violation IMHO:

    § 10.7.3  Behavior
    Configuration file handling must conform to the following behavior:
    • local changes must be preserved during a package upgrade

Changing the default config file /for new installs/ is fine, but
changing user-made modifications to config files is not.  In this
case openssh-server  modifies both /etc/ssh_config and /etc/sshd_config
and dpkg doesn't say a thing about it.

The *particular changes made* aren't the issue at all: the issue is
the "slippery slope" problem, and that's why I think the Policy is
written exactly how it is.  If it's okay to modify a user's changes
here, then it's okay to do it elsewhere.
